This is not Petyr Baelish's first visit to Pentos.
The last time he came here, he was recommended by the Prime Minister Jon Arryn and carried out King Robert's order to lobby many Free Trade Cities to form an anti-Andalos alliance.
This was the suggestion put forward by Tywin Lannister, Duke of Casterly Rock, after hearing the death of his last brother Gillian, and personally came to King's Landing to meet King Robert.
Lord Tywin hates the remnants of Targaryen deeply, and everyone knows this. Two of his brothers died at the hands of that little bastard.
However, it is a pity that Duke Tywin's plan failed. Petyr's plan to lobby the Free Trade City was very successful, driving a wedge between Braavos and Andalos, and successfully incited Governor Pentos to use the invitation to attack
Viserys took action.
But the final result was that Viserys "went to the meeting alone" and killed all the governors of Pentos in the chaos.
In the end, Pentos was captured and the anti-Andalus alliance was broken. Like a carp leaping over the dragon's gate, no force could restrict the development of Andalus from now on.
The final result of Petyr's last mission to Pentos was not very good, and this time 'Littlefinger' was actually even more uneasy.
He originally didn't want to come because he had done something wrong, but he didn't expect that because of his outstanding performance last time, that damn old man Jon Arryn and King Robert thought highly of him and asked Lord Petyr to personally take action.
So Littlefinger had no choice but to come here. He had Jon Arryn's order in mind, as well as Queen Cersei's secret instructions, and he also had his own little Jiujiu.
Lord Petyr Baelish's territory is only the smallest finger on the Five Fingers Peninsula, so he has such an insulting nickname, but he is not angry, and even uses it as an incentive.
His lifelong desire is to improve his class and desire for power, hoping to become a great figure.
Therefore, he is willing to become a lackey for the sake of power, but this lackey is not loyal to his master.
With three intentions on a trip, Petyr Baelish also felt a lot of pressure, but he was not discouraged. He stood outside the palace on the seaside in Pentos and took a deep breath to calm down his mood.
Then he turned his head and glanced at Hendry Bracken beside him. The brown-haired young man standing next to him also looked a little nervous. He felt the gaze of Lord Petyr Baelish and turned his head.
Come and look at each other.
Then a calm smile appeared on Petyr's face, he patted Hendry Bracken on the shoulder and said encouragingly.
"Don't be nervous, Hendry, you are here to see your father."
"Your father once saved the life of His Highness the Prince, and is now highly regarded in Pentos and holds a high position."
"No one can embarrass you if Your Highness embarrasses you."
The two of them are similar in age, but Petyr Baelish has a calm temperament, just like an elder educating a younger one.
And Hendry Bracken naturally lowered his head to the other party. Hearing Lord Petyr's words, he took a deep breath and nodded, seeming to really relax a lot.
His father is a high-ranking official in His Highness Prince Targaryen, and His Highness will not embarrass him no matter what.
"Well, I'm here to see my father."
Hendry emphasized to himself again, and received Petyr's encouraging smile, which also showed a smile on his face.
Standing behind the two men, Ser Barristan Selmy, Captain of King Robert's Kingsguard, listened to the conversation between the two men and remained silent the entire time.
Petyr Baelish's ambassadorship on behalf of King Robert was fair and honorable. Unlike the last conspiracy, he naturally had to be accompanied by a Kingsguard.
Because he stayed in the Red Fort but disdained politics and was alone, he was dissatisfied and marginalized by all forces.
Although the two often quarreled due to differences on certain issues, Barristan's biggest supporter was King Robert, who admired the outspoken captain of the Kingsguard very much.
However, King Robert had left King's Landing for more than a year, so this upright captain of the Kingsguard was disliked by some people and was a bit of an eyesore, so he conspired to be kicked out of King's Landing to perform this escort mission.
Barristan Selmy was also full of mixed emotions about this trip, because he had been a member of the Kingsguard of King Aerys II and swore loyalty to the king, but in the end he surrendered to the usurper.
If it was just like this, then forget it, after all, people would forget it after a while, but the Targaryen family stood up again on the other side of the Narrow Sea. The second prince Targaryen who fled inherited the legacy of his father and brother and re-established the kingdom.
This makes his psychology somewhat contradictory and complicated.
"Will His Highness the Second Prince be a different person from his father?"
The white-robed knight was thinking wildly.
He had met His Highness the Second Prince when he was a child, and even hugged him personally.
But Barristan never thought that the most outstanding heir of the late king was not his eldest son Rhaegar, but his second son, His Highness Viserys.
At this moment, the palace door was opened.
The three envoys who had traveled all the way from King's Landing had been standing outside the palace for a long time.
The two Unsullied soldiers were wearing light armor, and their eyes were cold and indifferent under their helmets.
"Lord Petyr Baelish?"
"Please come in, His Majesty has time to see you."
"grateful."
The short man with a small beard on his chin nodded and smiled in an elegant and polite manner.
Then he took Hendry Bracken, the captain of the Kingsguard, and his entourage into the Nine Towers Palace.
Naturally, Viserys had already been waiting here. He changed his clothes without deliberately changing his clothes, and put on his head the crown that symbolized the king.
He used to do this because he had no strength and needed to use some external attire to deliberately emphasize his status and consolidate his rule.
But now he can no longer do it. He holds the power that can threaten the Seven Kingdoms. The nobles of the Seven Kingdoms are trembling in his shadow. It is only a matter of time when they will send troops to attack Westeros.
The female knight stood behind him holding a Valyrian steel sword hilt in one hand. Black Worm, the commander of the Unsullied Legion, also stood at the foot of the steps not far away holding a spear. Two rows of Unsullied soldiers
His expression was solemn.
After a while, footsteps were heard outside the hall.
The rest of the envoy's entourage was kept out, and only Petyr, Hendry and the captain of the Kingsguard were allowed to enter the hall.
Littlefinger walked in a hurry, changing his calmness just now and showing a very urgent look.
When he saw Viserys, he didn't dare to look at him, but put one hand on his chest and bowed to the end.
